Furnace/Boiler Clean out
A yearly cleaning of your furnace/boiler is highly recommended in order
to help bring your system up to it’s peak operating efficiency.
The more efficient your system is running, the lower your heating costs
will be and the less often you will have to call for repairs. It is best
to schedule this cleaning before the heating season starts. If there are
any problems with your system, it’s better to correct them before
it is freezing outside

Change filters on heating system

Check the air filters on your heating system every month that they are
in use and replace them when necessary. Most filters should be replaced
every 6-8 weeks. A build up of dirt on your filter can make your system
work harder, thereby wasting energy, and costing you more money on your
heat and electric bill. A “clogged” filter can cause excessive
wear and may even damage the unit resulting in costly repair bills.

Lower temperature on water heater to 120°

Turn down the temperature on your water heater. If you set the temperature
at 120° F or below, you will save about 4% of your energy cost per
10° that you lower the thermostat. When you go on vacation use the
“vacation setting” on your water heater if available.

Keep vents and registers clear
Keep all heating registers and vents throughout the house free from clutter,
furniture, dirt, dust and pet hair. This will help you get the most out
of your heating system.

An annual air conditioner check up is the easiest way to keep your cooling
system in peak condition. A properly maintained system, operating in an
efficient manner can save you money on your electric utility bills by
using less energy to cool your house. Early air conditioner maintenance
can prevent many small problems from becoming more expensive problems later on.
